Moving over to the Mac environment from Windows.  We have a couple of
applications that seem to have no equivalent for Mac, so we are using
Parallels Desktop on a MacBook (Intel), OS X 10.4 7.
Problem:  In the Windows 2000 environment under Parallels, we have not been

Hi all, sorry to interupt the flow of things...

Three months ago, I bought my 20" imac Core Duo, one month ago, my
father in law bought the same exact computer. Today, I bought my mother
a like-new second hand Mac-Mini G4 1.42, with 512/80. Now both myself
and my father in law, are pretty proficient with computers, as a matter

First I will tell you that I am not a MAC user or owner so please be
patient :)
I have a friend who runs a small business and they have two MAC
computers in the office that are networked together and share files.

i'm totally new to Macs. I used Windows XP before. Now i use Mac OS X
10.4.7 on my G4 iBook.
I hope i'm right in this group with my question. On my XP i used a
sygate firewall (www.sygate.com) as a freeware for personal use. What i

I just purchased my first mac running OS X (10.4), and I'm a bit
puzzled about a simple feature I am unable to locate:
I want to copy an audio cd (I never put the retail discs in my car,
I've been broken into twice).  I can't find this functionality in

I just bought a MacBook and love it so far.  I hope the MacBook can help
with my problem: I need to rip my "Waiting for You' cd to FLAC to put on
my Slim Server box (linux).  I have been using my gaming pc to do the
ripping to FLAC but for some reason this CD will not play in ...

i am able to burn a data dvd using the ifnder burn folder and can burn
a data CD and movie DVDs using Toast 7.1, but for some reason it hangs

Can't believe I don't remember this...

Is it possible to create a Windows compatible file share with Mac OS X

I realise that an individual user can choose to organize their own home
directory (excluding ~/Library) however they want, but I was wondering
if there exist any official guidelines on the use of Apple created
directories. In particular, I am interested in ~/Documents.

I've had a 15" 2.16GHz MBP for about six weeks now, and in that time the
machine has crashed four times with kernel panics.  There is no
third-party hardware in or attached to this machine and there are no
third-party kernel extensions.  The panic log is below.  

I'm using a Mac G4 with OS X.  I have my aiport wired up to my dsl
verizon modem. My Airport can't find the PPPOE! Yet, when I hook up the
modem itself I get right on; thus his post.
How can I fix this problem.

Since I recently got a MacBook Pro, I installed GoLive CS on it. But
now, whenever I start the app, it comes up as Co-author, instead of
GoLive. I've checked a few times already to make sure I installed from
the right disc. Anybody know why Golive is being so weird?

I'm running OS X 10.4.7 on a MacBook Pro and have two external disks
connected via FireWire 800. One of these disks is partitioned into four
volumes and the other into two volumes.
What is weird is that one of the volumes from the four volume disk fails to
